Its concave facade is unique, making the entire building look like a layered stone chronicle. A major highlight of the cathedral is the Chapel of the Holy Chalice, which houses the chalice believed to have been used by Jesus. Several popes have used it in mass, and it attracts a large number of believers and tourists every year who come specifically to pay their respects. The interior also preserves Renaissance frescoes above the main altar and paintings by Spanish artists such as Goya, which are worth slowing down to admire. TheMiguelete bell toweron one side of the cathedral is a landmark of the old town's skyline.

Queen's square is located in the heart of the old town. It is a fully pedestrianized historic square, situated exactly on the site of the forum of the ancient Roman city of Valencia from over 2,000 years ago. The Turia Fountain in the square is cast in bronze. The reclining river god symbolizes the Turia River that nourishes the Valencia plain, and the surrounding female statues represent the ancient irrigation canals fed by the river. During the Las Fallas festival every March, a giant statue of the Virgin Mary is erected in the square, and the Offering of Flowers to the Virgin Mary also takes place here. Flowers are inserted one by one to form the Virgin's cloak, and within a few days, the square transforms into a sea of flowers. On ordinary days, the open-air cafes by the square are a great place to take a break while exploring the old town.Valencia · 711m from downtown

It’s very diverse and I learned a lot. We paid over €100 for the family of 2 adults, 1 child, then extra for audio guides, so a little too expensive

This is my favorite science museum. The exterior is stunning, and the interior exhibits and interactions are very good. It was the first time I learned that Leonardo da Vinci was a genius who could do everything, including architecture, painting, sculpture, anatomy, and bridge building. It was the first time I learned about the moon and Mars. It was the first time I learned about genes. There were too many interactions. The children were especially hi

The Plaza de la Virgen in Valencia is one of the must-see attractions in the old town. There is a very eye-catching fountain here, and there are many restaurants on the square. The Church of the Virgen de Valencia is very elegant and beautiful. Although the church inside is not big, the paintings on its dome are magnificent and colorful, which makes people marvel.

The Church of San Nicola in Valencia is also a very old church. The church has a very delicate and luxurious dome. There are very beautiful murals on the dome, all of which are biblical stories and angel statues. It feels very mysterious and ancient.
